Husky 365 special real or china ?

[cheeves]

If it doesnt have a Walbro or Zama carb.........chances are.....:msp_unsure:

And it also looks more red than orange.

 

[AUSSIE1]

Yeah bit of a bugger when you fork out for the ridgy didge.

Ok, look forward and to get a little more enjoyment out of it, whack on a ported BB kit.

View attachment 230276 Looks like a legit Husky plug. :msp_rolleyes:

View attachment 230277 Comp at 145 out of the box cold.

View attachment 230278 Came with the highly sought after and elusive ANABA carb.

ANABA carb, I knew she's one of the judges on DWS, didn't know she got her start making carbs, diversification is a smart move.

Got the recoil rewound n back on , really cheesy casting and plastics...I don't think these materials will hold up to much stress.View attachment 230279

Put some fuel in her and to my surprise she fired up pretty easy, 3 pulls and go. One pull once warm.

View attachment 230282 F'n STIHL chain ???? :msp_wub: Maybe its not all bad. j/k :jester:

 

[Applehead]

Thinkin my next move should be putting an old B & C on her and see if she cuts.
I figger I could cut my losses a bit if I sell the new B & C.

That doesn't look like the new Stihl RSC chain on my 365 Special.

Be very very careful trying to get any revs out of it with those Anaba carbs. They WILL lean out and you'll seize it.
As no doubt you have already found it will have come tuned extremely rich - if you want it to survive change the carb or leave it rich. I also wouldn't be surprised if it's only 65cc and not 72cc.
Before you run it too much fork out for a genuine Walbro as I bet if you run a tacho over it it's only pulling around 11,000rpm. If you try to get it to a Husky type RPM you'll pay for it big time.

The carb confirmed it's Chinese like we already knew.

The Chinese also knock off a lot of bars and tend to use the Oregon Power Match Plus pattern a lot on their solid bars. They also use the Oregon code - You'll probably find D009 on the bar code.

Don't give up on it though as if you change the carb you'll probably find it will do OK. I had a starter rope pull out of a new MS660 so it can happen to the best of them

That's because it's a copy

 

[little possum]

Make me a good deal, and Ill run it. Its just a chainsaw. Yes you spent some change on it. But its got good aftermarket coverage

 

[spike60]

The rope will keep breaking because the cheap metal starter pulley, (it's supposed to be plastic), has a sharp edge that cuts the rope off at the knot.

 

[spike60]

I've started threads before on this as I have previously imported a couple of 365 knock offs as test mules for some big bore kits I was also importing. I copped a lot of flak from it

And you deserved every bit of it "mate", because you're playing both sides of the fence here, and it's BS. You're trying to hand us this nonsense about the "good" chinese knockoffs, (yours), and the "bad" knockoffs, (everybody elses). Who do you think your kidding with this crap? It's a fine line, and somewhat silly for you to make such a big deal about which decals end up on the saws, as though there is an acceptable level of deceit; as if only a half hearted attempt to mislead the buyer is OK. You have a "MAJOR" problem with these saws if the level of misrepresentation exceeds a lower level of same that you are comfortable with. Yeah, right. You're part of the problem dude.

Thanks for the info. If I go this route , the Walbro is preferable to the Zama ???
